I '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HELGE A. BORRESEN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Marquette, in the county-of Marquette and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Turret-Flier, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in pliers, in which the jaws are provided with a number of cooperating or complementary tools for punching, setting or otherwise working material, and the objects of my invention are, first, to provide such pliers in a more simple and economical form, and second, to provide in such pliers ready means for adjusting the cooperating or complementary members in a suitable relation to each other. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which, X r

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the complete tool, Fig. 2 is a detail of the jaw, provided with the transversely revolving turret, Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the jaw pro vided with the cylindrically revolving turret, and Fig. 4 is an end view of the mechanism shown in Fig.3, showing the means I employ for ascertaining or locating the various tools in their proper position.

Similar reference figures refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

I employ any usual form of parallel plier designated by the reference numeral 1, upon one jaw of such a plier I produce the slot, 2, and through the walls of the slotted portion I provide the arbor, 3,uponwhich is adapted to revolve the wheel like portion, 4, the ends of the spokes of which I form into suitable punches and dies for the work to be performed by the tool. In order to ascertain and fix the position of the respective dies or punches, I provide upon the side of the jaw the spring, 5, attached to said jaw by means of the screw, 6, and carrying on its other end the lug, 7, which protrudes through a portion of the jaw and projects into one of the recesses, 8, provided in the spokes of the wheel, 4; the other jaw of the plier I form into the rod, 10. Surrounding this rod, 10, is the cylinder, '11, having theenlarged recess, 12, therein to hold the spring, 18. The outer end of the cylinder, 11, is provided with a series of notches, 14,

"and transversely through the rod, 10, is pro.-

vided the pin, 15, which is adapted to engage the proper notches, 14, when the spring, 13,

forces the cylinder outwardly. These notches or recesses 14 may be triangular in crosssection as apparent in Figs. 3 and 4 so as to present what amounts to a cam surface abutting the pin 15, to thereby automatically aline the cylinder. To cover the notches, 14, and the end of the rod, 10, I provide the cap, 16.

Projecting radially from the periphery of the cylinder, 11, I provide punches and dies, 17, which are adapted to work in combination with or to be complementary'to the punches or dies upon the wheel portion, 4. I have shown in the illustration special dies for putting the cover on main spring barrels of watches. These dies are designated by the numeral, 18. It is necessary that these dies shall extend slightly beyond the edge of the cover for the barrel. Inasmuch as various sized barrels are used in the market, I have provided four different sizes upon the cylinder, 11. It is intended that the periphery of the recesses in each die shall have a different diameter.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawings, it is evident thatl provide a tool of multiple uses, of extremely simple construction.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A pair of pliers having cooperating jaws, a cylinder mounted longitudinally upon one of said jaws and adapted'for rotation thereon, a plurality of cup shapeddies 'tools in proper relation to said first mentioned tools, so as to aline therewith at all positions of the jaws. 1

3. A. device of the class described having jaws, a plurality of tools associated with one of said jaws, a plurality of dies also associextending from the periphery of said cylin- 7 ated with said jaw, means upon' which said" tools and dies are mounted, said means being rotatably mounted about said jaw 'to rotate about an axis longitudinally of-said jaw, and means cooperating with said'tools and dies mounted on the other jaw. V

LLA; pair of pliers having cooperating jaws, a" cylinder mounted "longitudinally upon one of said jaws and adapted forrota-- tion thereon, a plurality v03E tools extending from the vperiphery of said cylinder,--.a;wplu-.* ralityof dies also extending-from the pe riphery of said cylinder, and aiplurality of ro-tatably mounted tools on the other jaw to cooperate with the first aforesaid tools.

5. A pair of pliers having cooperating v jaws, a cylinder mounted longitudinally upon one-of said jaws and adapted for rotationthereon, a plurality oftools extending from the periphery of said cylinder, and a plurality of rotatably mounted tools on the other jaw to cooperatewith the first aforesaid tools, thefto'ols mounted upon said secadaptedto cooperate witheach other.

,7. In a pair of parallel pliers, a'pair of jaws, and a plurality of tools and dies mounted on each aw in cob'perati e' relation, the pairs of tools and dies aforesaid being located'at unequal distances from the fulcrum of saidpliers, the pairhof dies ,aforesaid beingadapted Ito cooperate and being cup-shaped,- and the tools aforesaid being adapted to cooperate with each other, at least one- 0f said tools'forming; one'of a plurality otrotatably mounted' adjustable seriesofitools. 1;
